I have the Akebono (sp?) ceramic ones installed as I remember. That and there was an 'anti rattle' shim/filler involved... I don't have the notes on my car handy now otherwise I'd look it up for you.

Good luck -
Thanks... I'll try the anti-squeal goop, and if that doesn't do the trick, I'll just go back to OEM.

Anti-squeal compound is my friend.

Rattles are gone... hopefully it will last for more than a couple of days.

Next, I'll do the fronts as well, to get rid of the... well... squeal.

Then, the Lidatek.

Then, the diff.
